When a fifth Martian cylinder lands, both men are trapped beneath the ruins of a manor house.

La Guerre des mondes est un roman de science-fiction écrit par H. G. Wells. C'est une des premières œuvres d'imagination dont le sujet est l'humanité confrontée à une race extraterrestre hostile. L'histoire : des astronomes sont témoins d'étranges activités à la surface de Mars, comme des éclairs ou des explosions de gaz incandescent. L'étonnant phénomène se répète pendant les dix nuits suivantes puis cesse. Des météores venant de la planète rouge se dirigent bientôt vers la Terre.

Between 1895 and 1898, H. G. Wells wrote five science fiction novels, which have become among the most celebrated examples of the genre. The first of these was The Time Machine, in which Wells explores not only the fascinating subject of time travel but also the potential dangers to human autonomy by the advance of civilization. Well's world-weary Time Traveller, who is the main narrator, is one of his most quirky and appealing characters.

When H. G. Wells first published The War of The Worlds in 1898, the novel quickly became a sci-fi classic.
